I nanomateriali sono di grande interesse per le loro superiori proprietà ottiche, strutturali ed elettroniche. Questa ricerca si concentra su materiali luminescenti, perovskiti e aerogel dopati con cromo. I materiali luminescenti, o fosfori, possono essere organici o cristallini. I materiali Cr³⁺: Al₂O₃, in particolare, mostrano miglioramenti significativi in queste proprietà, rendendoli ideali per applicazioni avanzate. Le perovskiti MAlO₃ (M = Gd, La) sono stati sintetizzati tramite il metodo Pechini, mentre gli aerogel di Al₂O₃ sono stati ottenuti con il metodo sol-gel assistito da epossidi. I materiali luminescenti drogati con ioni di metalli di transizione trovano applicazione in display, optoelettronica, laser e imaging biomedico. Questa tesi si propone di sintetizzare e caratterizzare materiali luminescenti dopati con Cr³⁺, valutandone il potenziale come sensori di temperatura e pressione, grazie alle proprietà luminescenti del cromo, tra cui la possibilità di sintonizzare eccitazione ed emissione, rendendolo ideale per applicazioni nel vicino infrarosso.

Abstract
Nanomaterials are of great interest due to their optical, structural, and electronic properties. This research focuses on luminescent materials, perovskites and aerogels doped with chromium. Luminescent materials, or phosphors, can be either organic or crystalline. Cr³⁺: Al₂O₃ materials, in particular, exhibit significant improvements in optical, structural, and electronic properties, making them ideal for advanced applications. Specifically, MAlO₃ (M = Gd, La) perovskites were synthesized using the Pechini method, while Al₂O₃ aerogels were obtained using the epoxide-assisted sol-gel method. Luminescent materials doped with transition metal ions find applications in displays, optoelectronics, lasers, and biomedical imaging. This thesis aims to synthesize and characterize Cr³⁺-doped luminescent materials, assessing their potential as temperature and pressure sensors by exploiting chromium's luminescent properties, such as tunable excitation and emission, making it an excellent candidate for near-infrared applications.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
